he reckoned he was but agree i never seen him at anything actually

Brereton said he watching a player for someone.

If Lalor, Draper and Jagga are gone, then what do we do?

Pick the next best mid or do we trade down?

Then you go with FOS

Though he’ll be gone by 2 or 3 so it’s moot

 

[Benaly28]

There's 1% chance they pass on FOS (Sam Welsh's cousin) for Draper. And if they do I think I'd prefer FOS over Draper so that's a win for us.

It’s Draper or FOS for us.

Nice trade period Crows.

Can't see this going any other way but Draper now.

Is Langford anything like dangerfield?

 

[Chances Are]

Is Langford anything like dangerfield?

Great size like Danger, better disposal, great overhead mark, but speed is ordinary. Good footy IQ as well.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Perhaps I’m too cynical, but I find it very strange that there has been this very public media leaking of us wanting FOS so adamantly.

Perhaps to get Rich/North to bite first? But having said that, if our target was Draper .. I don’t see him going 1/2 anyway.

Maybe you want smith?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Is Langford anything like dangerfield?

Based purely on highlights he reminds more of Bontempelli

 

[GreyCrow]

I know this should be LM 2025 or 2025 Trade but do we get NWM or Draper (Ess) as priority?

 

[adelaidecrows]

dermott brereton wasnt overly enthusiastic about FOS on fox earlier this week. was interesting.

The sceptic in me thinks the media downplay Vic kids and hype up interstate kids deliberately to try and help sell home grown talent to interstate clubs so they let the Vic kids slide.

The big issue I see here is that Port have courted NWM for quite a while and are bracing for losing Bergman (who I think was a saints fan growing up). Hopefully it’s not as simple as a player swap next year. Would love NWM at Crom. Would be a huge get.

 

[Trigger13]

Geez, the Blues board is in love with Draper. It’s bordering on weird.

I'd have thought we would have been too, from before the draft year.

What we need is to rise up the ladder this year, St Kilda and Port to slide down, so all can see the future is with us.

 

[LoBu]

Geez, the Blues board is in love with Draper. It’s bordering on weird.

I think they were looking at the possibility of him sliding to their pick for a while as he was lower on some ratings, and now they are within reach are all in.

Doesnt really matter if its not from the club, but Drapers speed is a POD for all to see.

 

[1990crow]

Geez, the Blues board is in love with Draper. It’s bordering on weird.

No doubt they've traded up for OSullivan.

What happens with 1 and 2 will determine who we get.
Lalor at 1 seems like a risk to me if I'm Tigers.
Don't think Draper goes at 1.

He was in our academy. That will help.

Could definitely justify Lalor at 1, especially with the bounty of picks the Tigers have

Reminds me of Rayner going 1 - maybe not quite as fit or as much of accumulator as others around him at the top of the draft yet, but arguably the highest ceiling of anyone in the crop

 

[Crow till I die]

They are going to be upset then when they pick FOS assuming he and Draper are still there at pick 3

 

[Trigger13]

Why are we so sure of this? It it just an assumption based on the Sam Walsh cousin stuff?

 

[DJ75]

What's the best case scenario for the first 4 picks for us?
Worst case?

 

[Betts are off]

I was watching Draper clips last night and the way he runs and follows up his disposals reminds me a bit of peak Ben Cousins (the on field version).

I still remember the day Cousins came out in the 2nd half of a final torched us as Footy Park. Was literally sprinting for 60 mins straight. Wouldn't be surprised if he ran 10+kms in a half of football.

 

[MarcusP2]

Worst case?

Worst case is we get a weird pick of a lower ranked player.

 

[119others]

Then you go with FOS

Though he’ll be gone by 2 or 3 so it’s moot

Please reassure me again here DiT - luckily finishing with pick 4 - we can’t miss the universally regarded Big 4 in Smith, Lalor, FOS and Draper? All are likely guns - correct?

Even being one or 2 picks lower seems to have lots less confidence in what player goes next if my understanding is correct.

The issue is Kangas likely to trade 2 for Tiges 6 and a later pick (18 ish) IMO. It may mean Tiges get the first 2 mids of the draft - ideally Smith and Lalor - and Blues heavily rumoured to take FOS, leaving Draper for us,

I suppose Kamgas could pick a tall at 2 but very unlikely IMO as an over-reach. Saints or Dees could also prise pick 2 if they offered 7&8, or 5&9 but unlikely Saints or Dees give up so much in an even top 10 IMO

Thoughts mate?
